"Come to Int., oh my brother! come quickly to save, or at least to counsel me. My father will hear of no further delay: he }lath given his pledge to Carl that I shall be his bride on Friday; which if I fail to redeem, his curse anti a cell in the convent awaits nie. Come to me. Oh my counsellor and friend! by the love which. thou bearest me, by the contidence.wldch I repose in thee, by the faith which thou hest taught ins, come, oh conic quickly, or ; perish! "Louisa." "Go on, r on," cried Franz, hurriedly; "see, there in a lostcript. It is in he, mother's handwriting, and she speaks more plainly." The old man did goon, and read thus:— "I am in a state bordering on destruc tion. My daughter is miserable, my hus band is unbending. Come and cour.,e, me, too, dear nephew, and 'my how, in such a strait, it behoves me to act. Thy God is now our God. We have read his Word, and we renounce our errors. Am I justified in opposine. ° the will of ono whom I have sworn to obey? Or must I see my child forced to choose between n partner whom she abhors, and the profes sion of a faith which she doth not hold,' Come and be our guide, oh thou to whom it has been granted to open the eyes of the blind, and guide them into the way of truth?' "The case is now altered," said the old man, calmly, as he folded up and returned to Franz the letter. "It is written 'There shall be divisions in one house; the son shall rise up against the father, and the dalighter.in -law against the mother-in law.' We may not controvert the ar. rangements which He hath made, The maiden shall be delivered from the snare which is around her. But, oh Franz! save me, aad save thyself, from the deg redation, and the shame, and the misery, that would follow Louise and thysel The time has come when persecution shall rage fiercely; and to flee from city to city, and to hide in rocks and holes of the earth, be the lot of the faithful. Yes, it is the hour when each man must hold his lite in his hand, and count all things but dung, in order that he may snatch were it but a single brand from' the fire. Franz, thou art a chosen vessel; beware lest the weight of worldly cares rob thee of thy usetulness. The maiden shall be deliver. ed; but swear to me that never—no, never at least nil light shall have triumphed over t darkness. and the evil days in which we live shall hive passed away —wilt thou seek to draw the bond that links her fate with thine closer than it is. As a sister thou mavest continue to regard her; but more thi'n this swear to me, Franz, here in the presence of the Most High, that thou wilt not desire to go." "Father," said Franz, in a low but de termined tone, "is this necessary?', "Yea, in every respect necessary!" ex claimed the old man, worked up into an approach to passion as near as seemed compatible with his subdued anti rugged nature; "without it, I proceed not in this matter. Pity, 'twere that one so gentle should perish; but perish twenty such rather than 6: &arch should lose one champion so bold and stl zealous as thou, unshackled by domestic ties, nal yet be. come. Swear, then, that as a tsitsr to thee, she shall continue, till this tyranny be over-past, or I go not to the rescue." "Father, I swear," replied Franz. As he pronounced the words, a thunder cloud which had gathered slowly over them, burst with a crash which seemed to rend the hills to their foundations. The lightening flashed bright and blue, ren dering every object for an instant distincts ly visible; but no rain fell; neither was the flash or the sound repeated. The friends looked up. and beheld the sky rapidly clear itself, and the stars shine forth with a splendour, which even in the depth of, winter could hardly in surpassed, "Behold," said the old man, solemnly, "thy vow is heard, and registered in heav en. Let us be going." Having uttered this, he took his cloak from his - shoulders, and casting it over his young companion, desired him to wear it as a disguise. For himself, he added, there was no need of concealment; hut as Franz's return to the country was un known, it was advisable to keep the event, secret as long as possible. He then shout ed for the boat,—not as Franz had done, at the top of his voice, but in a tone which might well nigh be termed low, but so clear nod distinct that it was immediately answered. "Why this concealment?" demanded Franz, while the punt was making its way leisurely towards them. "What will it avail at the mill?" "Thou guest not to the mill to night, my' son," answered father Ambrose. "Hie thee to my dwelling in the rock, and leave to me the task of deferring, if we may not at once remove 'the evil which thou dreadest. Thy presence would but mar the project; for, as I said before, thou art more than suspected" "Be it Bo: fAher," replied Franz; "into, thy hands I commit both soul and body." "And into God's," added the other, 0 1 the boat reached the strand. They stepped on board,—father Am brose arrayed in his ordinary garb, the brown coarse robe and rosary of an an chorite,—Franz Brockhaus muffled up in the cloak, and completely disguised by it. The ferryman besought the hermit's bles sing; which was given, but said nothing more; on the contrary, he pushed "Sand having taken them across in profoud sis fence, he landed them on the quay, with out so much as asking a single question or hazarding a single observation. (To BE CONTINUED.) ,From the N. Y. Courier t't Ingoirer Feb. 20. The itintiny on board of the !Brig Braganza. As the wretches who committed the di-I1 ibolical outrage on board this ill starred 1 vessel are daily expected in the barqne Shepherdess, from Hamburg, the follow- ' tug statement' of the occurence, afforded I to us by Mr. Robert Moir, second officer ' en beard that vessel, may prove interest. ' in;---Many of the papers stated that Me. ' Moir was coming on here to give- his tee ' timonv, but we beg to inform them that ' Mr. Midi is now in this city, and has been here for three months. The statement ' riven by Lire to our reporter is as follows: ' On the 7th of July, 1838, we sailed from Philadelphia bound to Genoa, with a cargo of sugar from I onto Rico. We had sailed from the latter port originaliy for Genoa, but put into Philadelphia in dis tress. On the 1 lth we passed the Capes, having on board as passengers, Mr. Diehl, the owner and his lady; and Mrs. Turley the lady of the Captain: and after a fine passage, without any occurence to mar our pleasure, we made the Western Isl ands on the 16th day. On the 24th, about 52, P. M. it being then my watch below, 1 was asleep in my , state room, and was awoke by the cries of , murder proceeding from on deck. I im- , mediately rushed up, and the first thing I saw was the chief mate Mr.Vanderslice, , lying on the deck, so disfigured with wounds about his face, that I could scarce ,ly recognize him. I next saw captain Turley, engaged in the starboard waist , with the crew, who were attacking him with knives, 4-c. I seized a belaying pin from the rack, and rushing in, struck one man named Alms, over the temple, and he fell to the deck, with myself on top of him. While in this situation he drew a sheath knife, and attempted to stab me„ and before I could get on my legs I mew- , ed several severe blows on my shoulder , and head with a handspike. On getting ; on my feet, three of the crew seized me, i and having previously unshipped the star- I board gangway, (where cargo is taken in) they attempted to throW me overboard. I Just as I was losing my balance, I caught , Aims by the collar, and we went over board together, both catching hold of the after gay of the lower steering sail, which , was set at the time. At this time, the . crew had thrown the chief mate down in . the cabin, where he lay almost dead, one I side of his face being completely cut off. , A line was thrown to Akins, who got on board, and as I made efforts to do the same two of tire men seized handspikes , and broke my right arm. While I was in this situation hanging in the water, Capt. Turley went into the cabin for a cutlass, and as he returned on deck, the crew left me and made for him; but he cut one man severely over the head. I then crawled on deck, and saw Captain T. lying on the deck, held down by two men, while three were aiming blowS at him, two with knives , and one with a hatchet. He begged them ) to spare him for his wife's cake, and prom , ised to forgive all they had committed thus, far. I then went down into the cabil, where I found Mr. and Mrs. Diehl, and Mrs. 'Turley, in the greatest terror, and while I !vas there, they closed the doors, and fas , tened, t! , em.down. In a few moments we head a body'fall .nto the water, and on looking oui pf tho'cahin windows, we saw Captain Turley in Ihe act of drowning. The crew then got a chain cable mit of the after hatchway, and piled it on sky light, and then nailed boards over the , dead lights, so as to exclude all light from that quarter. They took in steering sails, and tacked ship, steering to the west. In this dreadful situation we remained fall night, not knowing what the wretches 'might next choose to do, and at daylight they hailed us over the tafi-rail, and order ed us to hand up the nauticle instruments, watches, jewelry &c. This we refused to do unless they would state their inten tions with regard to us. They then low ered a plank over the taffrail, by two guys, and by this means cloned the cabin wino dews, leaving us in total darkness. In r. few minutes, we found the cabin filled' with smoke, which gradually grew so dense that we were nearly suffocated, and I pro.' cured a gimblet and bored a hole in the hatchway so as to get some fresh air, and through that hole I saw stroke coming from the main hatchway, they having kin dled a fire in the after hold, in a barrel full of shavings. We hailed them for ten or fifteen minutes, but receiving no ans wer,, thought they must have set fire to the 'vessel, and then left her and us to our tate. Finally, when we were nearly dead with I sufflacation, they answered our hale, and asked us if we would comply with their demands. and give up the instrummts, &c. We replied we would, it they would give us some v , ater. They then let down the cabin windows, and having lowered a bucket we placed in it the chronometer, two gold watches, the ladies jewelry, and , a small amount in money, and they gave us some water. This water, however was poisoned, as I soon discovered, for it af fected me so to drink it, that for two days I could scarcely keep awake. After wards, they sent us down some good wat er. Nothing particular occurred for the next five days, clueing which time we kept a light burning, and by watching the com pass, and judging from the appearance of the water under the counter, we managed to - keep a kind of log and could form some opinion of the vessels position. On the thl day, however, we were hail ' ed, and told that we had fire arms below, and if we did not give them up, they would let us do without water and die of thirst. We promptly agreed to throw them overboard, it they would give us water, as they were only two old muskets perfectly useless, from the fact that we had no powder or shot on board. During these five days, we could hear vessels fre quently in company with us, but had no possible means of informing them of our situation. On the 7th day of our confine went, they hailed us, aiid asked me to come on deck, and after parleying for several hours I consented, but they after wards changed their minds, and wanted to see Mr. Diehl. Mr. D. Consented to o, if they would allow his wife to come up also—to which they agreed, and they went on deck. As noun as they reached the deck, Mr. D. asked me to come up, which I did, and they showed me the run of the vessel, and asked me to determine where she was. I found that their calcu lations differed very much from those ta ken by myself in the cabin, but having Aiken the proper obsarvati us, I gave them the proper latitude and lo :gitude, and the course which would take thorn to the gritish Channel. They then said there was a sail in sight, and if we wished a chance for our lives, we could have the jolly.boat. This, how, ever, we positively refused, as we knew she could not live five minutes in such n sea ns was then running—but we begged for the long boat, and after 5 or 4 haws consultation, they agreed to give her to us. Accordingly at 2 P. M. Mr. and Mrs. Diehl, Mrs. Turley and myself, got into the boat, which had been got out for us, and we begged hard to have the chief mate who was then - dying from the luck-jaw. but they refused most peremptorily, and we were forced to shove off. Just as we were passing the stern, the steward, who was confined in the forecastle the whole time, sprang over the railing into the boat with us. In the boat we found a keg of water, some boiled beef, &c. they having prepared her for themselves, in case of emer g ency. The brig was then steering' N. N. E. and we steered S. B. by E., ho ping to make Cape Finisterc; and at 5 P. M. we lost sight of the brig, and were left alone upon the ocean in a leaky boat, she having been severely strained in get ting her out. The conduct of Mrs. Diehl throughout' the whole of this disastrous proceeding, was most heroic, and would shame many who are accustomed to place too little faiths in woman's courage. While in the boat, she exhorted her companions to keep their spirits up, and she took her turn at bail ing the boat with a hat, until she was com pletely exhausted. None of those in the boat had time to take away any clothing, the ladies were not allowed even their hats. At daylight the next day, we saw a sail to the eastward, and steered for her; but after five hours' chase, she passed us with out seeing us, although we were so near we could see the men upon her decks. In the afternoon we discovered a sail to the westward and made for her, and after 4 hours anxious solicitude, she saw, & bore down for us, and took us on board. She proved to be the brig liebden, Captain Fouler, from Sicily, bound to Greenock; and to say that Capt. F. did all in his power to alleviate our suffering, would be saying too little. e arrived safely in Greenock, where the above facts were male known prompt. ly to the nearest American authorities.

HARRISBURG, Bth MARCH, 1859. FRIEND BENEDICT, I Being intimate with' the deputy Secretary, and one of his clerks, I dropped in when the Governor was out, to have a little chat with those state digititaries. circumstances often favors mischief, and temptation has led men to commit errors that are very cen surable. Like old mother Eve .1 was tempted. Among the papers scattered about, I observed one, thrown aside seem ingly as waste paper; partially unfolded read at the head "proposed message," in hand writing familiar to me, having so often seen the fac simile of a receipt of his. With some exertion and conning, I succeet:ed in possesing myself of said document, and have furnished you with it verbatum et !iteration so far as it can be deciphered. It appears to have been written under excitement. In part as stoles the form of a message—and part seems to be some code notions of policy, addressed to his cabinet--as whole it is quite anomalous. It is as follows: Proposed Message. GENTLEMEN:—In pursuance of an act, Sze., passed the 26th January last, enti tled "an act authorizing a loan," I issued 'a notice through my Secretary, that I would receive proposals for in iking to the State a loan of 81.200,000 to pay debts, not of my contracting, but incurred through the indiscretion of my predeces sors, Messrs. Wolf and Ritnec. When I say "not of my contracting," I do not mean that I am not the firm friend of In ternal Improvement, or that I did not ad vocate and vote for the expenditure of a goodly portion of those debts. I had 'substantial reason then for my course. I regret to say that no proposals have been received in pursuance of my invita tion, at a time too when it is conceeded that money is not scarce, and the credit of the State hitherto unimpeached. (Here then follows a portion evidently addressed to his cabinet.) Mcm. In looking round for reasons to account for this unprecedented occurrence, I am at a loss to decide which are the be,t that can be offered. It would be so high ly drsco•tcous to use, I' cannot believe that my former insolvency, and continued rcfusal to pay my own debts would have any effect on money leaders, shun the' State is my security. It may be want of confidence in our party, is the reason. I indiscretely in my inaugural, hinted at. the remote contingency of annulling Bank Charters." This was only a little humbug for the ignorant, who believe in the metal lic currency. Those who know the facts as well as you and I do, would know that l i such a contingency, would be very remote, unless I first sold my own Bank stock. If it has been construed to injure the credit of the Slate, it must have been by those who know nothing of politics, and think that politicians are honest, and who look upon the power of the strong party to an nul contracts without the consent, and to the prejudice of the interests of the weak party, as a dereliction of honest princi ples. This taken together with the alleged I unconstitutional organization of the Leg islature, which is thought by many. may render void the laws of this session, may I%;tv6 some weight." “Another reason, and I hope the true one, is the difficulty with England, on the subject of the Maine boundary, and the total inability of the General Government to pay its current. expenses without issu ing Treasury notes; a course which howev er much we deprecate, we must sustain, and I fear adopt in Pennsylvania or resort to taxation, which would he very unpop ular:” IVe can raise the "ways and means" one way. The State owns $2,108,700 in Bank stock, which yield from seven to ten per cent. or from $150,000 to V 200,000 ' per annum. I would recommend a sale of this, though it would furnish n moral to the Fable of "killing the goose that layed the golden egg," but un fortunately I men tioned in a former address, that "no inci dental flow of money into the Treasury could be contemplated." Poor men can not lend, but if you will "take the respon. sibility," I will abuse rich ►nen, and men• ied institutions, and thus render them so unpopular as to induce the unsuspecting majority to agree to a sole of the stock I owned by the State. As some of our own friends are rich, I will connect the Banks and the rich in such a way that they will lay all the blame on "Bank Whigs," and "Federal Aristocrats." Some of my friends have said 1 was rich. This must be a mistake, it is only two or three years since I held any property in my own name. If I have a little it is some of my own savings. I never alter what I have said, (for I must be particular about n ty now) nor can I submit to ask the U. S. Bank, notwithstanding liged to lend at 4 per cent., b . would be a recognition of its chat' 1 is one other method peri• thy of consideration. Can no you get a resol•ition brought fat send an agent to Europe to negc loan, if the srie of the stocks is unadvisable. If it is passed we , the Hama on the "Aristocratic and if the money is raised, have e' answered.
